NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A short-lived fish from the ephemeral ponds of southeastern Africa is set join the worm, fly, and mouse as an important model organism in research on the genetics of aging. At least, that's the hope of the authors behind a paper published today in Cell, a proof-of-concept that the African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) could become an experimental platform.

This webinar will demonstrate how a research team at the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health at McMaster University developed a cellular and molecular phenotyping pipeline using archived samples of lung tissue derived from patients diagnosed with fibrotic interstitial lung disease.

This webinar will review a recent study that applied whole-genome sequencing and optical genome mapping to identify a large number of previously undetected somatic structural variants in leukemia samples.
